I'm working on 30+ years of marriage to The Love Of My Life. We have 3 amazing children and 4 beautiful grandchildren. Sewing, knitting and reading are my favorite pasttimes much to my husband's chagrin. He loves to camp.

The Chef in a Sundress

My youngest daughter, Michelle, is a chef and spends most of her time in chef's attire, white jacket and black & white check chef pants. I love making her something soft and feminine to wear.

Michelle & I were shopping at our local Jo-Ann's on July 4th and she saw this fabric. The colors are perfect for her. She wrapped the fabric around herself and it was so cute, how could I resist? I bought what was left on the bolt, about 2-1/2 yds. At 50% off it was very affordable. The fabric is 100% polyester-easy care for my busy chef!

I sewed rows & rows of elastic thread at the top of the dress. Then I sewed the fabric in a tube, hemmed it and added a halter neck tie. Oh so easy! And it will look beautiful on my beautiful daughter.

About Me

As a Christian woman I love to sew and read, and read about sewing. My Kindle Fire is always at my side. I have an embarrassingly huge fabric stash I'm trying to use up and/or sell. I also love to run and run a couple half-marathons each year.
